Flight time is very important
Many tourists choose to buy a tour just to get the number of tour days such as 6 days 5 nights, 3 days 2 nights but forget when to board the plane.

Travel distance between attractions is also important to consider. Because traveling in the car too much and continuously can make the elderly and children in the family tired, affecting the quality of the trip. For example, go Phoenix ancient town tour – Truong Gia Gioi 6 days and 5 nights by road, you spent 2 whole days sitting in the car to go round trip Hanoi – Truong Gia Gioi, from Truong Gia Gioi to other tourist attractions is also very long so you almost have to sit in the car all the time. all day.

This person’s main task is to Manage numbers, carry out procedures… for delegation members. In the country you visit, there will be 1-2 more tour guides (this person can be a native or a Vietnamese living/studying in this country) with the group. These are the tour guides. Present and share about the destination. It would be a disaster if this tour guide did not have good speaking skills, or worst if it was a native who only knew a few sentences of Vietnamese and just followed the group for the sake of it. Your entire trip abroad will be very boring if the tour guide only briefly talks about the destination and doesn’t know how to communicate with the group members.
Going to Malaysia, China or other countries where there are still few Vietnamese residents, the possibility of you encountering a tour guide who does not know Vietnamese is very high.
